Laravel Manual Pagination Error

Question

I have a issue related to Laravel5 Manual Pagination. I need to process an array of query builder result and some other arrays and make a pagination for that.

controller.

  public function searchCategory($id){
    $arr = DB::table('business_businesscatagories')->lists('fk_business_id');
    return Paginator::make($arr, count($arr), 2);
}

Namespaces..

 use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator as Paginator;

But I got the error like below..

 FatalErrorException in IndexController.php line 122:
 Call to undefined method Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator::make()

How can I solve this issue....

Answer 1

I examined Illuminate\\Pagination\\LengthAwarePaginator and was able to confirm that it doesn't have make method.

However you can achieve this by using its constructor method.

__construct(mixed $items, int $perPage, int|null $currentPage = null, array $options = array())

Since you already have the correct namespace specified:

use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator as Paginator;

You could simply do this:

$paginator = new Paginator($items, $total, $per_page);
